The Real IRS Scandal

The GOP has making lots of noise about the IRS targeting of right wing groups that were seeking tax exempt status.  It looks as if the IRS was correct in targeting those groups.  They were primarily engaged in political activity.  The IRS was doing what it typically does to detect tax evasion.  They were using key words to target those who had a higher probability of cheating.  We would probably be much better off if we did more to limit tax exemption for organizations that are primarily in the business of advancing ideological and political interest groups.
